FlowBelow Aero announced Sunday at the ATA’s Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) Annual Meeting in Atlanta that its Tractor AeroKit system will soon be offered as a factory-installed option on the International LT Series MPG Fuel Efficiency Package, effective this spring.
The products also will be factory-installed options for any new LT and RH Series trucks through International dealers, the company says.
“The new International LT has proven to be one of the most technologically advanced, fuel efficient trucks available,” says Gordon Virginski, vice president of OEM and dealer programs, FlowBelow Aero. “With the addition of the FlowBelow Products on LT and RH Series trucks, we are providing fleets with even higher fuel efficiency while reducing total cost of ownership.”
Virginski says International Truck estimates spec’ing of FlowBelow Tractor AeroKit offer a fuel economy savings “of almost 2 percent.”
Sunday’s news comes on the heels of International’s October announcement when FlowBelow wheel covers were made part of International’s New ‘MPG Package’ for the LT Series, which also includes chassis skirts, roof fairing, cab extenders, and an optional bumper valance. The companies say the next level up MPG Fuel Efficiency Package, which becomes available this spring, includes all of the standard MPG Fuel Efficiency Package plus predictive cruise control and the FlowBelow Tractor AeroKit system.
The company adds the FlowBelow products included in the MPG Fuel Efficiency Package will be warranted by International Truck, as well as made available for aftermarket purchase through all International Truck dealers in the U.S. and Canada.
